Based on your research, what are your tentative plans in photographing the photographic Essay?

I plan to help in thinking of unique settings for the picture, since a blank setting, for
example, wouldn’t be as powerful, expressive, as a background with meaning. A lifeless
background translates into a lifeless picture, an uninteresting picture. So I plan to help
with that so there is a life behind the picture.

In what ways do you plan on making your photographs thought provoking/Interesting?

By using backgrounds, unique characters, as well as the way the characters are
posed/positioned. Also by creating a sense of familiarity, like the person looking at it may
say, “Oh yes, I can relate to that.” And make them feel like the picture is more than just
meaningless picture.
